How about a sew/craft/knit and show?

[pinky]

I'd love to see what other people are working on, and IRL there are few people who get a thrill out of my obsessive diaper sewing. :D

You can look at the diapers and covers I've made recently here (http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b32046ef2526)

Can't wait to see everyone's beautiful stuff!

[stafl]

You can see my babyslings at my website, the link is in my siggie.

Those are absolutely beautiful, Barbara!
No way am I showing anyone my first attempts at sewing diapers, though they work just fine. ;) :LOL

[pinky]

They're beautiful! Did you dye the fabrics yourself?

And I love that Maya Wrap gives you a pattern to make their sling, right there on their website...that kind of thing really gives me respect for a company!

[stafl]

Thanks! Yup, I used to be real big into tiedye back in the 80's and decided it was time for a comeback. Plus, I needed a new hobby, since my garden time is pretty much zero ever since I got pregnant with #1. I can tiedye while DD sits in her highchair with fingerpaints, and we have lots of fun!:D

[rubelin]

Stacy, those are cool! I love the idea of the directional stitching to help you with adjusting, I'll have to remember that :)

Pinky, I always love seeing what you've been making :)

Oh, forgot to say that my latest new projects were prototypes that aren't fit for viewing, I used the ugliest fabric combinations, lol! :)

[BowNessMonster]

here's a pic of my very first windpro AIO diaper...It's a variation of one of my side snapping cover patterns. It's dark grey outer and inside is a PRR knit with eskimos and igloos etc. I forgot to photograph the inner :duh! I took the polar bear from the knit print.

before I added the face to the applique, it looked seriously like a hippopotamus...we were making jokes about the elusive Northern Polarpotamus :LOL

Everything is beautiful! Wow, I just asked in a post for everyone to show me their homemade diapers... I seriously wasn't thinking they would all be so fancy!!!

I'm inspired now to consider making a sling. I'm tie-dying this next weekend some onsies and stuff. Maybe I'll consider doing a sling next... good idea!

I've moved on to making tote bags too, now... Got all this leftover upholstery fabric from the late 60's - mid 70's from when Mom was into reupholstering all our furniture. You know, it's not much harder than sewing a sling!
Here's as much of the first one I made as I could fit on the bed of my scanner:

I make glass and wire "lanterns" (candle and flower holders).. I use glass bottles/jars (new and vintage) and transform them into lanterns with 16 or 19 gauge wire.. trimming them with vintage crystal beads.. I use wire to dress up quite a few things..

here's a few examples

freespiritmom, those are gorgeous!!!

I've been sewing bags like crazy, I've been learning how to sew clothes (for DD) and wool soakers and stuff like that.

I wish I had a digital camera, then I'd show you all what I just finished. I love the two bags I did last night. I did one out of an old pair of jeans...with a really pretty hot pink flowered (small flowers, slightly darker than the background) lining. I appliqued a heart on one of the pockets.

then I got some fairytale fabric, with a unicorn, a castle and stuff like that on it and made a bag, with the coordinating lining (light blue sky with stars and swirls) with pink pockets (same fabric I used for the jean purse) on the inside and on the underside of the strap.

ugh! I'm not making any sense at all :rolleyes: anyway, they are cute!

[LaLa]

Just a quick reminder about posting pictures for the WAHMs on board...

You can post pictures directly by using the links from the individual pictures / properties, but you cannot link to your retail site to show pictures from there.

Thanks!

:)

[freespiritmom]

wow.. everyone here is very talented! Thank you for the compliments on the lanterns. They are so much fun. I haven't made any since my last son was born 3 months ago.. and I'm missing it.. I am going to start back this week!

LaLa~ a swap sounds good :)

[TipToe Fairy]

I hope I linked to the pictures right, I thought with the "img" tag, they would appear as pics in the posts, but they're just links.

My current obsessions are those embellish overalls and stand up tote bags. I just love to applique, so making embellished overalls let's my creativity flow, lol. I'm working on a cute queen bee pair right now, I just can't wait to put it all together. My next one is going to be Finding Nemo, I have yet to make dd her own pair of embellished overalls, so she's picked finding nemo for herself.

Here's one pair of overalls I just finished, it was inspired by my daughter the tip toe dancer (that is a ballet dancer in toddler speak, lol). THey are kinda frou frou, but she just loves them, lol:

And here's a backpack I designed for a swap. I'm going to have to make myself one out of some gorgeous fairy fabric from laura ashle.:

http://www.tiptoefairy.com/denimbatikbag.jpg
Here is the back with the sides closed in.

Here is the front with the sides open.

I also have two naked waldorf dolls that have been complete for over a month now that I need to put on ebay, but I am just totally uninspired with their clothes. One is a fairy with pointy ears, and I love to make fairies, but this one I just can't figure out what to make her to wear, lol, so far she just has a pair of white dupioni silk wings. The other is just a regular waldorf doll, I just should put her in a dress, but I haven't found a fabric that just jumps out and says "I'm a dress!" lol!

[Mommy&Will]

Here's a picture of a quilt I finally, with the help of a friend, finished. I'm taking a break from quilting now and hope to start making my own diapers and get into tie-dying a little more....

[spyiispy]

OooOoooo, TipToeFairy.....I wanna see pix of your Waldorf dolls, pleeease?! I've got a naked, hairless doll waiting for inspiration, sitting here myself. And how do you do the ears? I'm toying with the idea of putting ears on my doll too. This one is my first.
